UNITED STATES PATENT EEICEO i VILLIAM KENNISH, OF NEW YORK, vN. Y.

AToMlzER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,090, dated July 31,1883.

Application filed March 29, 1883. (No model.)

T0 all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that I, WILLIAM KENNIsH, of New York, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Atomizers,of which the following is a full and exact description, reference beinghad to'the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to supply atomizers with an air cushion orreservoir of such form as to give the best result in producing acontinuous spray without increasing the sizeof the package now used foratomizers producing only an interrupted spray.

In Figure 1 of the drawings accompanying, B represents a bag of pureindia-rubber,whose normal state is to be collapsed or dat, as shovui inFig. 2. It is connected with the air-passage by a three-way coupling, E,of metal, ivory, or other suitable substance. A pliable tube, K,connects this three-way coupling with the atomizing-tube, and a similartube, P, connects it with the bulb A. In this state it can be readilypacked in the same space as a single-bulb atomizer.

In Fig. 2 the dotted lines BB indicate the form of the bag when expandedby pressure of airfrom the bulb.

The operation is as follows: The apparatus being in the condition ofFig. l, the bulb A is compressed by hand, when its inclosed air isforced through valve H,Fig. 3, coupling E,

and tube K to the atomzing-tube F; but the supply of air being fasterthan the atomizing apparatus can use it, the air-bag B receives thesurplus, and at each succeeding compression of the bulb receives moreuntil it is distended, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2. During theintervals of compression of bulb A the condensed air in the bag B willcontinue the pressure, through tube K, to the atomizing-tube, thusmaintaining a continuous spray.

The expansion of the air-bag B is effected, first, by the air-pressurechanging its form from being flat to asphere or oval, and, second, bystretching the material of which it is composed. The contraction of thebag will not only be, as in all air-bulbs used for this purpose, to theextent of the natural contraction of the material, but further tocontract the form until it recovers its normal shape, as in Fig. 2, thuscontinuing the air-pressure upon the atomizing-tube longer than if itsnormal or permanent form were spherical.

Fig. 3 is a section of the complete apparatus.

D, Figs. l and 2, is a net, made of silk or other fiber, surrounding thebag to limit its expansion.

I do not claim any particular form of atom-- izing-tube orliquid-receptacle, as my invention is applicable to many of the formsnow found in the trade.

I claim- Y In an atomizer, the combination of the usual valved bulb, A,with the normally flat air-reservoir bulb connected to the mainconnectingtube between the bulb A and the liquid-vessel.
